This is Our Children’s Museum

(Words by Gigo Alampay; Artworks by June Digan)

Our museum will be filled with books and art,

so children will be surrounded by wonder and magic.

Ours will be a museum that inspires and feels safe.

It will be one that creates memories that children will cherish.

The day may come when they will have children of their own.

When they look back and remember, we hope that they will want to bring their children to our museum.

Our museum will allow children to take risks and make mistakes.

We will teach them that success is earned.

Our museum will let children do all the things that children do better than anyone else:

Play with abandon.

Trust completely.

Sleep through anything.

Forgive and forget.

Learn like a sponge.

Imagine without borders.

Explore without fear.

Love without conditions.

Our museum will give children all the space to run, and to imagine.

We will let the children be.

At the Tumba-Tumba Children’s Museum of Philippine Art, everyone will believe:
Any child can change the world!
